sarahsbookstack 's review for:
The Metal Heart
by Caroline Lea
This was fascinating read because I hadn't heard of these events before. (Read the author's note at the end to know the real timeline of things and what was just a work of fiction)
Italian prisoners sent to a tiny island off of Scotland to build a causeway/barrier to protect against enemies during WW2.
Twins, Dorothy and Constance are living together on the "haunted" part of Orkney after their parents have disappeared. They volunteer to work at the infirmary for the prisoners and there Dot falls in love with one prisoner, Caesar.
Constance is dealing with the consequences of ill fated night with a horrible man from the island.
This is a beautiful story of the love of sisters and what they will do for one another. A beautiful story of first love in a time of war.
I read this in 2 sittings and it was so great.
